the time doesn't really fit in ...

...with the known chronology of Dylan's life. A six-week period between April and May 1965, at the Chelsea hotel. But Dylan was touring England in April/May 1965 - "the most well-documented fortnight of his career" (Clinton Heylin). The tour ended on May 10th, but according to Heylin's biography, he was still in London towards the end of May, apparently recovering from a bad acid trip. Heylin also records that during this time, Dylan had an affair with 15yo Dana Gillespie, apparently attracted by her big bust. And (as Don't Look Back shows) he was constantly high on speed (even Nico was worried) and appeared to be an arrogant asshole, most of the time.
